I don't recall ever seeing them here, but there are plenty of citrus trees. A lof of my New Orleans neighbors used to grow peaches and citrus along side each other, so does that prove that peaches could grow here, too? Too late in the day for me to figure it out, lol!

Also didn't know that the seeds are peppery and that some societies use them that way. Forgot to put it in the post, lol! My closest friend almost always orders green papaya salad when we eat Thai. :) I didn’t know that papaya were berries either, seedling, until I researched the post.

You're right - that's the best! I really need to save some seeds next time and start growing my own! I get most of my papaya fresh from a neighbor’s tree, Genie, and still warm from the sun.

I still eat them, but would eat a lot more if they weren't forever connected to "hospital food" in my memory! They are tasty, khaikhee.

I didn't know that they came from Mexico either, until I decided to write about them this week. Definite thumbs-up on papaya for baby food. Well, your pediatrician may need to approve, but folks here fatten their babies on papaya and poi, lol! Both very digestible!
